Classic Legal Texts Online

Professor Kerr at the Volokh Conspiracy recently noted that several classic legal texts are available online for your enjoyment, including:

• Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England
• The Nature of the Legal Process by Benjamin Cardozo
• The Path of the Law by Oliver Wendell Holmes
• The Common Law, also by Holmes

My first-year law professors mentioned each of these texts at least once and recommended them as background reading. Of course, I didn't have time in the middle of my first year of law school for anything like “background reading,” but these are some titles you might add to your 0L summer reading list, or consider looking at over a break in school sometime.
